Transition the UK Nuclear Deterrent to Full Strategic and Technical Independence

The UK’s deterrent relies on the US-managed Trident missile pool and technical support. Relying on a third party for critical security infrastructure can create a strategic vulnerability. To ensure national safety regardless of shifts in foreign politics, we believe we must achieve full technical sovereignty. We call for a transition to a domestic delivery system and maintenance framework, ensuring the UK possesses a truly independent "Life-of-Type" capability similar to France.
